Klappentext

Experience an ever-shifting panorama of Nordic history in The History of Sweden, where Stone Age hunter-gatherers navigated an untamed landscape, and Viking sailors roamed the seas in sturdy longships. Follow the emergence of Bronze Age trade networks, which shaped cultural bonds, and witness how Iron Age contacts with the Roman world molded local tribes.

Delve into the tumult of medieval power struggles under the Kalmar Union, then marvel at how Gustav Vasa seized the reins of royal authority, paving the way for the Reformation and a centralized state. Discover the glory and trials of Sweden's Great Power Period, from the military triumphs of Gustavus Adolphus to the bitter clashes of the Great Northern War. Concluding with the Napoleonic Era, the Union with Norway, and the rise of the Bernadotte dynasty, this book showcases Sweden's centuries of triumphs, turmoil, and transformation in a dramatic new light.
